Work

I blogged earlier about mygadgetinfo and the ad problem i had on it.. that was unacceptable and i have to hold my hands up and admit it was down to my lack of attention/sharpness… at the same time, i didn’t do anything wrong with regards targetting on Adbrite, but i still blame myself for not seeing the ads before anyone else..

I also said i don’t look after/add much content to the site…

I’ve decided to change all that.. the old format was handpicking videos and adding them as posts… that was easy for me, but not good for SEO or content or traffic…

So i figured i’ll change it into a more text based blog like this one, even if it means less updates as it will benefit the site down the line.. I’m also looking at the change in advertising on blogs and on many networks, it’s a requirement that all posts are text based or at least the majority of them.. so sponsored reviews are definitely something i have in mind for this blog, maybe 6 months down the line.

So i basically wiped everything off the domain… theme, content, database etc.. and re-installed wordpress from scratch. A fresh start.

It was less hassle than upgrading, believe me (spent about 2 hours trying to upgrade and fix databases).. i have backups of the old content, but i’ll probably not even bother uploading them now as i want to start from the start

So i’ll settle on a nice theme, get some ideas for posts and then blog about twice a week on the latest tech talk. A lot of people ask me about how to start a blog or what tips/tricks i use etc… so i’ll blog about MyGadgetInfo as I go along and what plugins/tricks i use to gain traffic/link love.
